How do I get at the windshield washer pump on this 2000 Taurus wagon? Seems I'll have to remove the wheel well and or fender.

Tnx, Roger

    Yes, many Ford products have the washer reservoir and washer pump inside the front fender well. You have to raise the vehicle with a jack to remove the front wheel and then the fender liner and then replace the pump. Be sure you have a new gasket or seal for the pump, otherwise it will leak after changing it. Be sure to safely raise and support the vehicle when carrying out this operation.
